They closed the hunting season on those critters back in 1865, or so I hear!  Jerry

Be ready for heavy traffic when you hit Michigan this weekend. Monday is opening day of Firearms Deer season. Traffic will be crazy on I-75, especially Friday night, Saturday day, and Sunday day. Where abouts are you heading? I'll be just outside Clare at Deer camp myself. Good Luck and be safe.

My Yahoo map says it's about 560 miles, 8 hours or so driving time. I'll be traveling through Louisville, KY, and Indianapolis, on I-65. Once I reach the lake, I'll leave 65 and take a series of other roads.
Tennessee's deer season opens in a couple of weeks, and the muzzleloader season just ended, so I've got a free weekend. Once the centerfire rifle season opens, ya couldn't drag me out of the woods with a D-9 Cat!

The last time I went up North...all the way up to Arkansas...when I got north of I-10, there was a real shortage of good coffee. Can you believe that they didn't even have any boudin, cracklins' or hogs-head cheese? I was almost starvin' by the time I got back home!  While I was up there, I stopped at a place where the sign outside said, "Good Cajun Cookin'"! I thought I'd see if it was true so I went around to the back of the building, opened the back kitchen door and who I saw cookin' didn't look like any kind of "Good Cajun", so I took off with out even tryin' to smell what they were trying to cook.

How do you folks ever get any sleep?  Jerry

That number's going into the note pad right now! Maybe we can hook up for a coffee or something a bit stronger on one leg of the trip or the other. I worked in Logansport for a short time in the summer of 1965, as a door-to-door book salesman. That killed my interest in direct sales forever!

I'm the proud new owner of a 51 GMC frame, and assorted other goodies, and it only took 1200 miles of driving! Thanks, Jim and Stephanie! That old cab and bed are going to look pretty good on the Jeep frame once the project is completed, and I think that 401 AMC engine will definitely move it around with some style and authority! Good people, and a fun weekend to boot!
